Claros Beacon
Publish your security posture. Stop answering questionnaires.
Security questionnaires waste weeks on both sides. Beacon gives you a branded trust center where prospects can review your compliance posture, download security documents, and verify certifications — without emailing your security team.
Security questionnaires are a tax on every deal.
A prospect wants to buy your product. Before the contract can move, their security team sends a 200-question spreadsheet. Your team spends a week filling it out — most of the answers are identical to the last questionnaire you completed.
Meanwhile, the deal stalls. The prospect's procurement team waits. Your sales team follows up. Your security team resents the repetitive work. And the next prospect sends the same spreadsheet next week.
The information prospects need already exists — certifications, compliance frameworks, security policies, subprocessor lists. The problem isn't that you lack answers. It's that there's no place to publish them where prospects can find them on their own.
Step by step
How Beacon works
Configure your trust center
Choose a slug, upload your logo, set your brand colors. Select which sections to display: compliance, controls, resources, subprocessors, FAQ, updates. Each section can be toggled independently.
Publish compliance data from Protocol
Beacon reads your compliance frameworks, controls, and certification status directly from Protocol's Context API. No duplicate data entry. When your compliance posture changes in Protocol, Beacon reflects it within minutes.
Upload security documents
Add SOC 2 reports, penetration test summaries, security whitepapers, and policy documents. Set access levels: public, or email-gated with single-use download tokens that expire in 24 hours.
Add FAQ and security updates
Proactively answer common security questions. Maintain a timeline of security improvements and certifications. Reduce inbound questionnaire volume by addressing concerns before they're raised.
Share one link
Send prospects your trust center URL. They review your compliance posture, download documents, and verify certifications — on their own schedule, without waiting for your team. Visitor analytics show you who's reviewing.

What Beacon can do
Capabilities
Compliance Publishing
Publish your compliance frameworks, certifications, and control status from Protocol. Data syncs automatically with a 5-minute cache — no manual updates when your compliance posture changes.
Email-Gated Document Downloads
Share security policies, SOC 2 reports, and penetration test summaries without email back-and-forth. Prospects request access with their email. Download tokens are single-use, expire in 24 hours.
Visitor Analytics
Track who visits your trust center, which sections they view, and which documents they download. Understand which prospects are in active security review without asking them.
Per-Organisation Branding
Your trust center, your brand. Custom colors, logo, and slug. Visitors see your identity — not a third-party tool. CSS custom properties make it seamless.
Subprocessor Registry
Publish your subprocessor list with categories, purposes, and data locations. Control visibility per-subprocessor. Prospects can review your vendor relationships without requesting a spreadsheet.
Security Updates & FAQ
Maintain a public timeline of security improvements and answer common questions proactively. Reduce inbound security questionnaire volume by addressing concerns before they become emails.
Access Request Workflow
Prospects who need more detail can submit access requests directly through the trust center. No more "email security@company.com and wait three days."
Rate Limiting & Security
Public endpoints are rate-limited to 200 requests per minute per IP. Slug enumeration is protected — non-existent and unpublished trust centers return identical responses.
The platform
Part of the Claros platform

Beacon reads compliance frameworks, controls, and certification status from Protocol's Context API. When your compliance posture changes in Protocol, Beacon reflects it automatically.
